*Yanagi Kotaro*

Yesterday, I found a very shocking news (for me). I was searching some j-dramas to watch since im quite free recently. When came to a drama, 'Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata' (because got my favourite actor in, but he is just a supporting actor in this drama), I found out that, the main actor is Yanagi Kotaro. Therefore, I went to search some information about him.

While searching, I found a very shocking news about him. At first, I saw someone commented at his another drama, 'Puzzle'. That person commented, 'What you probably need to know before watching is that main character's actor Yanagi Koutarou had an accident a few years ago which caused him not being able to speak normally anymore. ......' I was 'Huh ?' at first. Weird though, but still I continue to search.

Through wikipedia, I found out that, its real. He had an accident when he was just 17 years old.

"After leaving a rehearsal for Remarkable 1st Match: Fudomine, less than two weeks before it was due to open, Yanagi was hit by a car. He had extensive damage to his body and vocal cords and was in a coma for two weeks. Doctors predicted he would be bedridden for the rest of his life. After waking up, Yanagi weighed around 30 kg and was unable to get up at all.

However, Yanagi was able to make a miraculous recovery and is currently strong enough to act again, although he has difficulty with his dancing and singing. His recovery time prevented him from playing in Remarkable 1st and the next two Prince of Tennis musicals. ....... (read from wikipedia if want to know more about him)

As a result of the accident, Yanagi now walks with a permanent limp, his voice is forever changed, and his speech pattern is slightly slurred. Despite this, Yanagi continues to act and sing."

(from wikipedia)

For me, not enough ! I want to know more about him ! Therefore, I went to youtube and search for his videos. I watched some videos based on this story after he had an accident. Oh no... I almost cry ! He is cute and handsome, but due to the accident.... I seriously wanted to cry but I didnt because I just cant cry in front of my family members. It hurts me enough. T.T

I know, its too late for me to notice this news. He is 25 years old now, going to be 26 years old this year. And im seriously glad that he is doing well. I know that, Yanagi Kotaro will never read this, but "I seriously hope that you will do well in future no matter what happens. Yes, you might say that I dont understand the feeling being a situation like you, but I want you to know that, there are a lot of fans still cheering for you, including me ! Ganbatte ne~~~"
